Australian Rules-Players union to probe Crows over infamous pre-season camp

MELBOURNE : The Australian Football League players' union will contact Adelaide Crows players over a 2018 pre-season camp that left their former forward Eddie Betts feeling traumatised by bizarre and confrontational mind-training exercises.

Lifting the lid on the camp, which was run by an external leadership consultancy, Betts said players were blindfolded on their bus to the site which had the Richmond club song playing continuously on loop. Betts said private information that he had shared with organisers prior to the camp had been hurled back at him as abuse by camp instructors in an"initiation" session.

Betts said players were split into groups and told not to tell team mates in other groups what they had been doing.He and his wife raised concerns with the club, and Betts said he sought permission from the players group to have Aboriginal team mates excused from future mind-training exercises.In the build-up to the 2018 season the Crows had been rated a major threat to win the championship but crashed to 12th in the 18-team league, missing the playoffs.
